McMillen Announces Binding of Isaac Expansion

The Wrath of the Lamb now in development, will expand core game by 50%.

Warm fuzzy nostalgia violently juxtaposed with a deluge of over-the-top grossness. That about sums up Edmund McMillen's RPG, rouge-like shooter, The Binding of Isaac, and we love every minute of it. That's why today's news has us itching to return to the basement: The Wrath of the Lamb, the first and only expansion for the game, is on the way.

Posting on his Twitter account, @EdmundMcMillen, the indie designer revealed that Wrath of the Lamb is on the way. He then took to FormSpring to answer questions about the upcoming expansion.

On Wrath of the Lamb's estimated launch date: "It's only a few days into production. What you see is just an illusion, I just have a few graphics in, it will be a while before it's ready."

On what we can expect in the expansion: "More of everything plus a few new extras here and there. The core gameplay won't change though... at least 50% more than what is already in-game."

Prodded for more info by
Joystiq, McMillen added that this will be the first and only expansion for The Binding of Isaac before he moves on to his next project. And when the expansion does launch, it will cost $3. We'll keep you posted.
